Mega mosquitoes

[aljetmet]

Have you heard? While driving to work the host of the radio programme I was listening to announced that these critters are going to br in force this year. Would they come to Memphis, stay tuned! So I chuckled and said oh good in less than a month I'll b gone from Memphis for good. The commercial ends and the anouccer says these mega mosquitoes are 20 times bigger than normal ones. Fortunately they are not coming to Memphis. They will hit wait for it,
Central Florida this year due to all the tropical storms we've had.
As long as you cover up and put on plenty of bug killer on your exposed skin you will be safe. Not a happy camper. True story.

I got bitten a couple of times last June, just after Debbie left! NOT nice. :sad: But I used Cutter and Avon skin So Soft drey oil in the following days, and no more bites!! I have started packing for our next visit and these 2 things were first in my bag!

I understand they were sent to us by North Korea due to our embargo of Madden Football for the government elites. First, the Iranian Wasps, then the Syrian termites, now North Korean blood suckers. As Rodney said, "Why can't we all just get along....without DEET?"

I just hope they wait till the season slows down - there is barely enough room here as it is - we certainly don't have room for a new population to come in.

In my 3+ years in The Villages, I have not noticed mosquitoes. They do spray and the spray works very well.

However, if you go outside The Villages in the summer months to places like Tavares or Mt. Dora in the evening, you will get lots of bites.
